TIPS FOR EPSON EXHIBITION CANVAS

Printing and Finishing Guidelines

Designed in collaboration with world renowned fine artists and professional photographers, EPSON Exhibition Canvas products offer industry leading Dmax for the richest blacks, extremely wide color gamut, exceptional white point for clean highlights and an innovative microfiber base that virtually eliminates cracking. The following guidelines and recommendations are provided by Epson to insure that your Exhibition Canvas print is both produced and can be displayed with your vision in mind for many years to come.

Before Printing:

Just as with printing on any high quality inkjet substrate, the proper selection of Epson ink and profile is essential to producing the finest quality Epson Signature Worthy® print. To insure a perfect print, please consult the Instruction and Handling sheet enclosed in the media’s package, and choose the recommended profiles and inks (download ICC profiles from proimaging.epson.com):

For Exhibition Canvas Matte, use Matte Black ink only

For Exhibition Canvas Satin, use Photo Black ink only

For Exhibition Canvas Gloss, use Photo Black ink only

- Make certain that your printer is running the most current version of firmware (available on proimaging.epson.com). - Make certain that you have downloaded the most current ICC profile. Remember that profiles are specific to both the type of printer you have and the finish of canvas you are using. - Please follow all instructions on the READ ME file associated with the ICC profile download including Media Type, Color Density, etc.

Post Printing :

As opposed to the display of photographic inkjet prints in traditional frames behind glass, prints made on inkjet canvas are usually presented in a “gallery wrap” format and can be either framed or unframed, but traditionally without a glass covering.

Because of the traditional display style for canvas prints, top coating is an additional process for those who wish extra print surface protection. Epson recommends this for its Matte finish canvas only. For those who do not want to top coat, it is recommended that Exhibition Canvas Satin or Exhibition Canvas Gloss be used. These two finishes provide a surface with excellent durability including abrasion, crack, and water resistance even without the use of a top coat.

Key benefits to top coating a canvas print:

Increases durability of the printed image on the canvas

Improves water resistance of the printed image on the canvas

Allows for adjustment of the surface gloss to desired levels

It is recommended for those top coating canvas prints to select Exhibition Matte Canvas:

Exhibition Matte Canvas is about 20% less expensive than Exhibition Gloss and Exhibition Satin canvas

Exhibition Canvas Matte can accept top coats in matte, satin or gloss finish
